The Cloudy weather and the sounds of children laughing playing tag outside in the dirty slums. The people of Sector 7 were chatting indoors and outdoors as a white cat runs pass a man with a beard almost tripping. The weapon shop is open as the customers practice using weapons in the small areas while the owner made some cash. Out in the open where the rented rooms are close to the bar, you see two out casted SOLDIERS on the second floor underneath the old roof talking amongst each other as the chocobo blonde folded his arms and the Spikey crow haired leans back on the wall waving his hands as he speaks. It suddenly started to rain as the kids began to scream in the rain running off, Zack raised his hands to his hips as usual and taps the blondes shoulder walking off. The blonde looks down in thought and at his hands as the sound of the rain crashing in the dirt and roof fill his ears. The blondes ear twitches to the sound of Zack closing his new rented room, he looks down the balcony to see Tifa running with the groceries in her hand but then the bag tears as veggies fall to the ground.
T: "Oh no", she bends down trying to grab every last one as one onion rolls away she reaches to grab it but someone got to it first. Her brown eyes look up to see the blonde picking up all the veggies and putting in the bag as she gets up. The blonde hands her the bag wearing a small smile as she looks at him with glistening eyes, she sees the water run down his face and in his hair then he grabs her hand as he drags her up the stairs keeping them dry.
C: "Looks like I'll need to shower.."
She stares at him with his back turned and he looks back to be touching his wet shirt.
C: "hm? Are you cold?"
T: "huh!", she immediately blushes, "Uh No Im fine"
C: "alright.."
She kept seeing the bottom portion of his face and sees his smile which caused her heart to jump.
T: "Well I need to..uh..get inside..", she points to the entrance of the bar next to her as she held onto the bag of veggies to her abdomen. As she was about to walk off, she looks back to see him leaving but she felt a strange vibe from him. He was walking in the rain, and she noticed why he isn't running from the rain. She bites her lip and yells.
T: "Cloud! Come in", she says squeezing the bag of veggies in her arms. The blonde looks back at her with no expression as the water runs down his forehead to his nose.
C: "Sure", he walks in with her and Tifa was worried as she sets the bag on the counter. The bar was empty and their wet clothes drenched the floor boards with small puddles of water. The blonde walks in and sits down in front of the brunette from the other side of the counter as she packs the fridge. Cloud rests his chin in his hand as he looks at Tifa expressionless with his shimmery blue eyes.
T: "So uh..whats wrong?", she leans towards him as Cloud looks at her glossy lips then she realizes they were both still wet and she grabs a towel drying herself as she hands him one.
T: "Here"
C: "Thanks"
They both dried themselves and the blonde looks at Tifa squeezing her wet hair in the towel and she looks at his wet hair. They both stare for a while and she broke eye contact leaving her towel on the kitchen counter.
T: "Soooo.."
She looks at Cloud who was antisocial which made her tilt her head.
T: "Whats going on?"
C: "Nothing..its just..work"
T: "oh..well Im sure everything is alright"
C: "..No its not..none of it is"
T: "hm?", she lowers her head to see his face as he was looking down at the counter. The blonde meets her gorgeous face and chocolate eyes on him, suddenly the brunette widens her eyes to feel his lips. The blondes hand grabs the back of her neck keeping her from leaving as a sudden electrifying spark flows through her body, her pulse decreasing slowly as he kept kissing her and her cheeks flushed red. She closes her eyes to feel his tongue and she widens her eyes as he kept kissing her and softly touching hers lips with his. Cloud moves his hand to cup her face and releases from the kiss slowly, she gazes at him with red cheeks. Before the blonde could remove his hand from her face she grabs it telling him not to leave. They both gaze into each other and they kiss again only longer as they continue to kiss their ears were filled with the sound of rain crashing on the roof top of the bar. Tifa pulls away telling him to wait as she moves back from the counter. The blonde looks at her shyness and says to him, "I want to show you something.."
C: "What is it?", he sees her chocolate brown eyes as she walks out of the kitchen to the pinball machine clicking a button as she grabs his hand.
T: "Step here"
She holds his hand nervously as the pinball floor goes down to reveal the basement. The blonde looks around to see the couches and the tv as well as the punching bag in the corner.
C: "Looks nice"
T: "Its our secret room..where we have meetings", she says brushing her hair behind her ear as she walks over the pool table, "I figured since your a member I might as well show you a few things..". The blonde walks over grabbing her waist pulling her close as she kisses him, their lips move feeling every inch of each other and suddenly Cloud was pushed on the couch to his surprise. Tifa took her shirt off and the blonde stops her warning her, "What are you doing?"
T: "....I waited so long for you, I missed you and..", she looks down and the blonde looks at her figure to see her black sports bra.
C: "Don't you think we're moving too fast?"
Tifa falls on her knees looking the other way with her shirt in her hand.
T: "Your right..I just.."
The blonde notices her sad expression and he lifts her chin up looking into her eyes.
C: "Do you want to?"
T: "I've always wanted you..can't I just..have you?"
